What it is
Thirty-three conditions on which Orthodox bishops of the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth entered communion with Rome while keeping the Byzantine rite and married clergy.
Why it lasted
The origin of the Eastern Catholic churches, and of a division among Ukrainians and Belarusians that has never healed.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
